Late Complications of Intraprostatic Stenting

Abstract
|
|
|
Prospective study to evaluate the results after 2 year´s follow-up was done in 16 patients with prostatic infravesical obstruction treated by insertion of an intraprostatic stent. In eight patients, removal of the stent of cystostomy without
removal of
it was performed due to urinary retention, severe vesical irritability and local penile discomfort, etc. Five patients were able to void satisfactorily and the remaining three patients managed to live with some voiding problems. Stone formation
was
found in 10 of 16 consecutive patients and mild displacement of the stent proximally was in 2 patients. Of the 8 patients with a functioning stent, hematuria in 7 patients, pyuria in 6 patients and positive urine culture in 3 patients were noted.
Our
experience suggests that stone formation and recurrent urinary infection are serious complications in long-term indwelling of the stent.
